Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Pour 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil into a cold nonstick frying pan and place it over low heat. Allow the oil to warm gently for about 1 minute.
  4. Once the oil is warmed, pour the egg and miso mixture into the pan. Stir the eggs continuously for about 2 minutes.
  5. Carefully fold the eggs from the outer edges towards the center using a spatula for another 2 minutes, until softly set but still slightly wet.
